Poundex 3-Piece Coffee Table, Dark Cherry


Poundex 3-Piece Coffee Table, Dark Cherry


User review
I love these tables! Very inexpensive, but when you get them assembled they don't look "cheap"! Easy assembly. The color is a brown-cherry, exactly as pictured. One of the criss-cross slats on the main coffee table was damaged when we opened the box. This isn't a structurally significant piece (contrary to what the pictures depict, these slats don't actually HOLD the glass top...the glass sets on a ledge just above the slats). So, we were able to glue it with wood glue and it looks good as new. We contacted the company about the damage and they said if we chose to fix it ourselves, they would refund half of the shipping costs. But, this didn't seem fair since I was under no obligation to repair it myself and if I wanted to, I could ship it all back to them, ask for a replacement and they'd have to ship me a new set...all of which would have equalled THREE times the shipping costs. It was easy to communicate with the company via email and they were prompt in their responses. I explained that I expected half the shipping cost, plus my time and materials to repair the damage. They agreed to that and refunded me what we felt was a fair representation of our time and materials to repair the damage. In the end, I am very happy with the tables, and with the way the company handled our dispute. Would buy from Visiondecor again!

Decorating Ideas for Coffee Tables

There are certain things you should keep in mind when decorating your coffee tables. A lot of you may assume that you should keep a tall centerpiece or a vase at the center of your coffee table. As beautiful as these look, a coffee table is one of the places where people gather round for conversation. Do not make the centerpiece so high that the conversation is disturbed. This is perhaps one of the most important tips on decorating coffee tables. With this in mind, here are some great coffee table decorating ideas you can indulge in.

If you have a rectangular coffee table, simply have a runner running along the length of the table, at the center. For character, choose a runner with a beautiful print based on your choice. Apart from looking beautiful on its own, a runner adds a lot of character to the room and some much-needed color too.
At the center of the table place some gorgeous tea-lite holders and light them up with candles every evening. This is particularly great if you have a glass coffee table so that the light reflects on it and makes the table look absolutely perfect.
